Travellr’s privacy ethos

The following general principles outline our approach to protecting your privacy rights:

Before or at the time of collecting personal information, we will identify the purposes for which information is being collected.

We will collect and use of personal information solely with the objective of fulfilling those purposes specified by us and for other compatible purposes, unless we obtain the consent of the individual concerned or as required by law.

We will only retain personal information as long as necessary for the fulfillment of those purposes.

We will collect personal information by lawful and fair means and, where appropriate, with the knowledge or consent of the individual concerned.

Personal data should be relevant to the purposes for which it is to be used, and, to the extent necessary for those purposes, should be accurate, complete, and up-to-date.

We will protect personal information by reasonable security safeguards against loss or theft, as well as unauthorized access, disclosure, copying, use or modification.

We will make readily available to customers information about our policies and practices relating to the management of personal information.

We are committed to conducting our business in accordance with these principles in order to ensure that the confidentiality of personal information is protected and maintained.

Information collection

It is possible to visit Travellr and use a subset of site functionality without revealing any personally identifiable information about yourself. We only collect your personally identifiable information if you voluntarily provide it to us.

If you chose to register with Travellr, at a minimum, we require some key information to provide a basic level of service: your name, email address and the state / city you live in.

Once a member, you have the option of providing additional information, to enhance the quality of this Service for both you and the larger Travellr community. Such items include your date of birth, a short bio, your personal website, your profile picture and places you have previously visited and lived in.

Certain information is also collected dynamically as you use the Service. We log all content generated by you on Travellr, as well as information you provide when contacting us. Our servers also record your Log Data (i.e. IP address, browser type, web pages visited, search terms used).

Information use and disclosure

Personally identifying information that visitors submit to our Service is used for the purpose for which it is submitted or for such other secondary purposes that are related to the primary purpose, unless we disclose other uses in this Privacy Policy or at the time of collection.

We reserve the right to share your personally identifiable information in the following cases:

Where You have consented or disclosure is necessary to achieve the purpose for which it is submitted

In special cases where We have reason to believe that doing so is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against anyone damaging, hurting or interfering (intentionally or unintentionally) with our rights or property, users, or anyone else who could be harmed by such activities

Where We believe in good faith that the law requires disclosure

With trusted third parties engaged to deliver services to Us. In this instance Your information will be handled in a way which is consistent with this Privacy Policy, and will not ne shared beyond the bounds of the third party’s contract with us.

Please note that You are solely responsible for any non-personally identifying information / content that You post on the Website or submit by using our Service.

Cookies, which are industry standard and are used by most Web sites, including those operated by us, can facilitate a user's ongoing access to and use of a site. They allow us to provide a better, more tailored level of service to You. If you do not want information collected through the use of Cookies, there is a simple procedure in most browsers that allows you to deny or accept the Cookie feature.
